Loving Letter from Jehovah --- ????? One day you come home and find a parcel at the door, with an inscription that reads: With love from your creator, Jehovah. ?❣️? Impatiently you enter the house and open the parcel. Inside you find a mirror and a letter that reads as follows: ????? My beautiful Creation, I give you this mirror so that you can take a good look at yourself. What do you see? A tired face, little wrinkles, your big eyes which you can't keep open at the end of the day? Do you also see your heart, your deepest emotions and your sad or happy state of mind? ????? Now that you've looked at yourself long enough, please clean the mirror and look again, now I want to show you how I see you. ????? You are a creation of my own hands, you are PRECIOUS in my eyes. When my eyes roam the Earth, my heart leaps for joy when it sees your love toward me and your happiness when you've reached one of your goals. ????? I also see the beauty of your smile, the honesty of your heart and the help you give others. I also see how you look for me every day, how you find me, talk to me and glorify me with your lips. ????? However, I've also noticed something else - I can see that you're tired and I SEE AND FEEL the suffering of your mind, heart and body. I'm so aware that this system is causing you misery. I can see you are fed up and tired of fighting. I know you feel desperate at times and that your heart is sad. But I also see that you want to continue to stand firm and that both your heart and mind keep on fighting because you don't want to leave me. That's why you should know that I cry when you cry, and when you're happy, I'm happy, too. Please let me help you! Permit me to protect you like a father. I want to be a soothing balm for your heart and soul. ????? I know you! You CAN make it. Please don't leave me. Our precious friendship and your great faith can help you overcome and cope with every trial in your life. I WILL give you the strength you require. ????? Never, ever forget that I love you and will be holding your hand as you fight to finish this 'race'. Please keep going because I am longing to show you just how happy a perfect life will be. ????? With love greater than you can even fathom. Your Father, your God, your Friend, Jehovah ????? (Isaiah 41:10,13) "Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be anxious, for I am your God. I will fortify you, yes, I will help you, I will really hold on to you with my right hand of righteousness. For I, Jehovah your God, am grasping your right hand, The One saying to you, ‘Do not be afraid. I will help you.’" (FOREVER) ? 1 GIF TAP ON PICTURE 1 MOVING PICTURE TAP ON LINK 1 REGULAR PICTURE IMG_6691.MP4

Never say you are busy! UPBUILDING STORY ?????????? This is a story that happened in Japan. In order to renovate the house, a man in Japan breaks open the wall. ?????????? Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls. When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail from outside hammered into one of it's feet. ?????????? He sees this, feels pity, and at the same time curious, as when he checked the nail, it was nailed five years ago when the house was first built! ?????????? What happened ?... The lizard had survived in such position for five years. In a dark wall partition for five years without moving, it is impossible and mind-boggling. ?????????? Then he wondered how this lizard survived for five years without moving a single step since it's foot was nailed ! So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what it has been doing, and what and how it has been eating. ?????????? Later, not knowing from where it came, appears another lizard, with food in its mouth. Ah !... He was stunned and touched deeply,... ?????????? For the lizard that was stuck by nail, another lizard has been feeding it for the past five years. Imagine ?... ?????????? It has been doing that untiringly for five long years, without giving up hope on it's partner. Imagine what this small creature can do that a creature blessed with a brilliant mind like us can't. ?????????? Please never abandon your loved ones. Never say you are busy when they Really Need You. ?????????? You May Have The Entire World At Your Feet. But You Might Be The Only World To Them. ?????????? A Moment of negligence might break the very heart which loves you through all odds,... Before you say something, just remember it takes a moment to break, but an entire lifetime to make.

Can You Find Peace in This Troubled World? ? Pray for Russia and Our Worldwide Family! ?????? Let People Be Who They Are They Are Lacking the Peace of God! - Satan is Trying to Deceive Us, Be on Guard! - Don't Waste Valuable Time! ????? DO YOU live in peace? For many, the clear answer is no. They live in areas plagued by wars, political unrest, ethnic violence, or terrorism. Even if you are spared such calamities, you might find your peace disturbed by crime, harassment, and quarrels with business partners or neighbors. Families too are often like war zones rather than havens of peace. ????? Many people yearn for inner peace. They may search for it in religion, meditation seminars, or yoga groups. Others hope to find peace in nature—taking vacation trips, hiking in mountains and wilderness areas, or visiting natural spas. Even if the searchers seem to find some inner peace, they may soon come to realize that such peace is superficial and short-lived. ????? So where can you find real peace? The source of peace is our Creator, Jehovah God. Why? He is the “God who gives peace.” (Romans 15:33) Under the rule of his Kingdom that is soon to come, there will be an “abundance of peace.” (Psalm 72:7; Matthew 6:9, 10) This is far more than just a feeble peace settlement. Such accords often herald little more than a brief interruption in hostilities. But God’s peace will eliminate all causes of war and strife. In fact, no one will learn war anymore. (Psalm 46:8, 9) Real peace for all at last! ????? As beautiful as this hope is, you might nevertheless yearn for a measure of peace right now. Is there a way to find inner peace that can carry you through our troubled times? Happily, the Bible shows us the way. Consider some guidelines in the 4th chapter of the apostle Paul’s letter to the Philippians. You are invited to read verses 4 to 13 in your own Bible. ????? “The Peace of God” In verse 7 we read: “The peace of God that excels all thought will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.” This peace does not come through mere meditation or character development. Rather, it comes from God. This peace is so powerful that it “excels all thought.” It surely surpasses all our anxieties, knowledge, and reasoning. We might see no way out of our problems, but God’s peace can fill us with the well-founded hope that one day all our troubles will be gone. ????? Impossible? With men yes; but “all things are possible with God.” (Mark 10:27) Faith and trust in God help us to control our worries. Think of a young child lost in a big store. He knows for sure that all he has to do is find Mommy and everything will be fine again. Like that child when he is found, we can trust that God will take us in his arms, so to speak. He will soothe us and finally chase away all our anxieties. ????? Many worshippers of Jehovah have experienced the peace of God under the most severe trials. For example, consider Nadine, who lost her unborn baby. She relates: “I find it hard to talk about my feelings, and I always try to keep a stiff upper lip. But inside, I was brokenhearted. Almost every day, I poured out my heart to Jehovah in prayer and begged him for help. I have felt the power of prayer, for whenever I was at my worst and thought, ‘I can’t go on any longer,’ I experienced inner serenity and peace. I felt safe and secure.” ????? https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2011611?q=wronged&p=par 2nd article to read: https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2009485

How to be a Friend. ????? (True Friends) should follow the words of Matthew 18: 15 “Moreover, if your brother commits a sin, go lay bare his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. 16 But if he does not listen, take along with you one or two more, in order that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every matter may be established. 17 If he does not listen to them, speak to the congregation. If he does not listen even to the congregation, let him be to you just as a man of the nations and as a tax collector. 18 “Truly I say to YOU men, Whatever things YOU may bind on earth will be things bound in heaven, and whatever things YOU may loose on earth will be things loosed in heaven." Pursue Peace ????? “Let us pursue the things making for peace.”—ROM. 14:19 TRUE peace is hard to find in today’s world. Even people belonging to the same national group and speaking the same language are often divided religiously, politically, and socially. By contrast, Jehovah’s people are united despite the fact that they have come out of “all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues.”—Rev. 7:9. ????? The peaceful condition that generally exists among us is no accident. It has come about primarily because we “enjoy peace with God” through our faith in his Son, whose shed blood covers our sins. (Rom. 5:1; Eph. 1:7) Moreover, the true God gives holy spirit to his loyal servants, and the fruitage of that spirit includes peace. (Gal. 5:22) Another reason for our peaceful unity is that we are “no part of the world.” (John 15:19) Rather than taking sides in political issues, we remain neutral. Having ‘beaten our swords into plowshares,’ we do not get involved in civil or international wars.—Isa. 2:4 ????? The peace we can enjoy with one another goes deeper than merely refraining from doing harm to our brothers. Although the congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses that we belong to may be made up of individuals from many different ethnic groups and cultures, we “love one another.” (John 15:17) Our peace allows us to “work what is good toward all, but especially toward those related to us in the faith.” (Gal. 6:10) Our peaceful spiritual paradise is something to be treasured and safeguarded. Let us, therefore, examine how we may pursue peace within the congregation. When We Stumble ????? “We all stumble many times,” wrote the disciple James. “If anyone does not stumble in word, this one is a perfect man.” (Jas. 3:2) Hence, differences and misunderstandings between fellow believers are bound to arise. (Phil. 4:2, 3) However, problems between individuals can be solved without disturbing the peace of the congregation. For example, consider the counsel we should apply if we realize that we may have offended someone.—Read Matthew 5:23, 24. ????? What if we have been wronged in some small way? Should we expect the offender to come to us and apologize? “[Love] does not keep account of the injury,” states 1 Corinthians 13:5. When offended, we pursue peace by forgiving and forgetting, that is, by ‘not keeping account of the injury.’ (Read Colossians 3:13.) Minor transgressions in day-to-day life are best handled in this way, for this contributes to a peaceful relationship with fellow worshippers and gives us peace of mind. A wise proverb states: “It is beauty . . . to pass over transgression.”—Prov. 19:11 ????? What if we find that a certain offense is too difficult for us to overlook? Spreading the matter to as many ears as are willing to hear is certainly not the course of wisdom. Such gossip serves only to disrupt the peace of the congregation. What should be done to resolve the matter peacefully? Matthew 18:15 states: “If your brother commits a sin, go lay bare his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.” While Matthew 18:15-17 applies to sin of a serious nature, in the spirit of the principle stated in verse 15, we should kindly approach the offender privately and try to restore a peaceful relationship with him.* ????? The apostle Paul wrote: “Be wrathful, and yet do not sin; let the sun not set with you in a provoked state, neither allow place for the Devil.” (Eph. 4:26, 27) “Be about settling matters quickly with the one complaining against you at law,” said Jesus. (Matt. 5:25) ????? Pursuing peace, then, calls for settling difficulties quickly. Why? Because doing so prevents differences from festering like an untreated, infected wound. Let us not allow pride, envy, or the attaching of too much importance to material things prevent us from resolving disputes soon after they arise.—Jas. 4:1-6. ????? https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2011611?q=wronged&p=par

Coping With “a Thorn in the Flesh” ????? How to Cope With a Thorn ??? The apostle Paul begged God to remove the thorn from his flesh. “In this behalf I three times entreated the Lord that it might depart from me.” What was Jehovah’s reply to Paul’s ardent request? “My undeserved kindness is sufficient for you; for my power is being made perfect in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:8, 9) Let us analyze this response and see how it can help us to cope with any thornlike problems that pain us. ????? God encouraged Paul to appreciate the undeserved kindness that had already been extended to him through Christ. Indeed, Paul had been greatly blessed in many ways. Jehovah lovingly granted him the privilege of discipleship, though he had been a fanatic opposer of Jesus’ followers. (Acts 7:58; 8:3; 9:1-4) Jehovah thereafter kindly gave Paul many thrilling assignments and privileges. The lesson for us is clear. Even in the worst of times, we still have many blessings for which to be grateful. Never should our trials make us forget the abundant goodness of Jehovah.—Psalm 31:19. ????? Today, Jehovah empowers faithful Christians by means of his holy spirit, his Word, and our Christian brotherhood. Like the apostle Paul, we can throw our burdens on Jehovah in prayer. (Psalm 55:22) Although God may not remove our trials, he can grant us the wisdom to cope with them, even with those that are especially hard to bear. Jehovah can also supply us with fortitude—giving us “power beyond what is normal”—to help us endure.—2 Corinthians 4:7. ????? How do we receive such help? We must diligently study God’s Word, for therein we will find his sure consolations. (Psalm 94:19) In the Bible, we read the poignant words of God’s servants as they begged for divine help. Jehovah’s responses, which often include the use of comforting words, are food for meditation. Study will fortify us so that “the power beyond what is normal may be God’s and not that out of ourselves.” Just as we need to eat physical food every day for nourishment and strength, so we must feed on God’s words regularly. Do we do this? If we do, then we will see that our receiving “power beyond what is normal” helps us to endure whatever figurative thorns may afflict us now. ????? By enduring whatever figurative thorn is in our flesh, we can find great happiness in showing everyone that Jehovah’s power is being made perfect in our weakness. Paul wrote: “We do not give up . . . Certainly the man we are inside is being renewed from day to day. For though the tribulation is momentary and light, it works out for us a glory that is of more and more surpassing weight and is everlasting; while we keep our eyes . . . on the things unseen. For the things . . . unseen are everlasting.”—2 Corinthians 4:16-18. ????? Learn more on this subject at: jw.org https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2002124?q=sharp+or+dull&p=par

? “God Is Love" ? He that does not love has not come to know God, because God is love.”—1 JOHN 4:8 ALL of Jehovah’s attributes are sterling, perfect, and appealing. But the most endearing of all of Jehovah’s qualities is love. Nothing else draws us so powerfully to Jehovah as his love. Happily, love is also his dominant quality. How do we know that? ??? The Bible says something about love that it never says about Jehovah’s other cardinal attributes. The Scriptures do not say that God is power or that God is justice or even that God is wisdom. He possesses those qualities and is the ultimate source of all three. About love, though, something more profound is said at 1 John 4:8: “God is love.” ??? Yes, love runs very deep in Jehovah. It is his very essence, or nature. Generally speaking, we might think of it this way: Jehovah’s power enables him to act. His justice and his wisdom guide the way he acts. However, Jehovah’s love motivates him to act. And his love is always reflected in the way he uses his other attributes. ??? It is often said that Jehovah is the very personification of love. Hence, if we want to learn about love, we must learn about Jehovah. Let us, then, examine some of the facets of Jehovah’s matchless love. ??? How Jehovah Assures Us of His Love However, an important question arises: Does God love us personally? Some may agree that God loves mankind in general, as John 3:16 says. But they feel, in effect, ‘God could never love me as an individual.’ The fact is that Satan the Devil is eager for us to believe that Jehovah neither loves us nor values us. On the other hand, no matter how unlovable or worthless we may think we are, Jehovah assures us that each of his faithful servants is of value to him. ??? HE GAVE YOU A GIFT IN FACT, DID YOU RECEIVE IT? FIND OUT WHAT THIS GREATEST GIFT IS FOR YOU, BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU SO MUCH! https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1102008060?q=god+is+love&p=par

"May my prayer be prepared as incense before you."—Ps. 141:2 ???????? God expects us to desist from dead works and to study his Word, pray, and attend Christian meetings. And Christian family heads take the initiative in conducting family worship with the members of their own households. (1 Thess. 5:17; Heb. 10:24, 25) ???????? Think for a moment about your prayers—about their regularity and their quality. The book of Revelation likens “the prayers of the holy ones” to incense in that acceptable prayers rise to Jehovah like a sweet-smelling and pleasant odor. (Rev. 5:8) ???????? In ancient Israel, the incense that was regularly offered on Jehovah’s altar had to be carefully and precisely prepared. It was acceptable to Jehovah only if offered according to the guidelines that he had established. (Ex. 30:34-37; Lev. 10:1, 2) ???????? If our heartfelt prayers are similarly formulated, then we can be sure that they are acceptable to Jehovah. ??????? w12 1/15 4:11, 12

A Tree “the Foliage of Which Does Not Wither” ????? Don't you just love beautiful trees? They are so majestic and luxuriant! How can we be like a tree? Why is it important in times of storms or in our life? We need to find success and success is written in God's Word the Bible. You will only succeed if you walk in the correct path. You will find true happiness! A Tree “the Foliage of Which Does Not Wither” ????? HAVE you ever seen a countryside covered with luxuriant green trees? You will likely agree that it is a most pleasing sight. If you see many large, leafy trees, would you imagine that there is a drought in the area? On the contrary, you would know that there must be an abundance of water that keeps the trees alive and healthy. ????? Appropriately, the Bible compares those who are spiritually healthy to large, luxuriant trees. ????? “Happy is the man that has not walked in the counsel of the wicked ones, and in the way of sinners has not stood, and in the seat of ridiculers has not sat. But his delight is in the law of Jehovah, and in his law he reads in an undertone day and night. And he will certainly become like a tree planted by streams of water, that gives its own fruit in its season and the foliage of which does not wither, and everything he does will succeed.” (Ps.1:3) ????? Today people try to find success in many ways. They immerse themselves in pursuits that could bring them fame and fortune, which all too often prove to be illusive and disappointing. What, though, can bring true satisfaction and lasting happiness in life? Jesus’ words in the Sermon on the Mount provide the answer. He said: “Happy are those conscious of their spiritual need, since the kingdom of the heavens belongs to them.” (Matthew 5:3) Indeed, true happiness comes, not from possessing many material things, but from recognizing and satisfying our spiritual need so that we are spiritually healthy, like luxuriant trees that give their fruit in due season. How can we flourish spiritually? ????? According to the psalmist, first there are some things we must shun. He mentioned “the counsel of the wicked ones,” “the way of sinners,” and “the seat of ridiculers.” To be happy, we need to turn away from those who ridicule or even ignore God’s laws. ????? Then we should delight in the law of Jehovah. When we delight in something or some activity, we look for every opportunity to engage in it, do we not? So to delight in God’s law means having a deep appreciation for God’s Word, a desire to learn more about it and to understand it better. ????? Finally, we need to read it “in an undertone day and night.” That means reading the Bible on a regular basis and meditating on what we read. We should feel about God’s Word the same way as did the psalmist who sang: “How I do love your law! All day long it is my concern.”—(Psalm 119:97) ????? Yes, when we acquire accurate knowledge and understanding of Jehovah God and develop full confidence in him and his promises, we will surely be spiritually healthy. In that case, we will be like the happy man described by the psalmist—“everything he does will succeed.” ????? https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2009168?q=planted+tree&p=par

Hayden C. Covington 1978 Hayden Covington Interviewed By Jerry MurrayInterview with Hayden C. Covington, former Watchtower Attorney on November 19, 1978. Covington represented Jehovah's Witnesses in several Supreme Court cases dealing with freedom of religion and freedom of press in the 1940s. He was also Vice President of the Watchtower Society from 1942 to 1945. Covington died two days after giving this interview. - ‘Defending and Legally Establishing the Good News’, WTB&TS How the Governing Body Differs From a Legal Corporation ANNUAL meetings of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania have been held since January of 1885. When the ingathering of anointed Christians was underway in the late 19th century, the directors and officers of this corporation had the heavenly hope. In fact, this has almost always been the case. There was one exception. In 1940, Hayden C. Covington—then the Society’s legal counsel and one of the “other sheep,” with the earthly hope—was elected a director of the Society. (John 10:16) He served as the Society’s vice president from 1942 to 1945. At that time, Brother Covington stepped aside as a director to comply with what then seemed to be Jehovah’s will—that all directors and officers of the Pennsylvania corporation be anointed Christians. Lyman A. Swingle replaced Hayden C. Covington on the board of directors, and Frederick W. Franz was elected vice president. Why did Jehovah’s servants believe that all the directors and officers of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania should be anointed Christians? Because at the time, the board of directors and officers of the Pennsylvania corporation were closely identified with the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses, which has always been made up entirely of spirit-anointed men.

Wat doen olifanten voor fijn? ??????? Olifanten zijn de grootste dieren op aarde, en ze houden ervan om veel plezier te maken. Olifanten kunnen 60 tot 70 jaar leven, en ze ontwikkelen diep en opmerkelijk nauwe banden met hun families. Met een levensduur die lange en nauwe sociale banden heeft, betekent dit veel tijd voor plezier en nabijheid. Net als mensen, houden olifanten er van in het goede ouderwetse spel. Modderbaden ????? Modderbaden zijn een all-time favoriet van olifanten. Ze hekken niet alleen op hun vrienden in modderbaden, maar genieten ook van de koelsensatie en reliëf die modder biedt van de zeer warme temperaturen van Afrika en Azië, hun native homelands. Olifanten in gevangenschap genieten ook van modderbaden en kunnen gezien worden, waardoor hun vrienden een handige stoot en rollen geven om in de modder te spelen. Socializing??? Olifanten genieten van gezelligheid met elkaar, aangezien zij zeer intelligente en sociale dieren zijn. Olifanten worden vaak gezien als elkaar strelen. Ze genieten van vervelende koffers alsof ze hallo zeggen of een knuffel geven. Biologen geloven dat er trunks gebruikt kunnen worden om andere olifanten te begroeten, omdat ze door hen ook de andere olifant kunnen ruiken en er meer over weten. Water Games Olifanten waarderen afkoelen in waterlichamen en kunnen genieten van een goede romp in het water met hun vrienden. Olifanten zijn sterke zwemmers, dus in het water is ze niet onbekend. In het water kunnen ze afkoelen terwijl ze met hun vrienden en leden van hun kudde "worstelen". De oren van een olifant werken ook om hun lichaam in de hitte af te koelen. Olifanten kunnen worden gezien alsof hun oren - dit werkt als een ingebouwd koelmechanisme. Voetbal en plezier met vrienden ??⚽️?? Olifanten in gevangenschap zijn vaak gezien met speelgoed die aan hen wordt aangeboden, zoals voetbalballen en grote strandballen. Ze genieten van het knippen van de bal met hun koffers. Dit kan blijken te zijn met plezier. Van een jonge leeftijd genieten olifantkalven rond met hun vrienden. Letterlijk van hun kalfkinderen beginnen zij het pad van het vormen van diepe banden die een leven zullen duren.
